Start by applying a hot pad or an ice pack to the swollen joint. An ice pack decreases inflammation and swelling during an attack, while a heating pad relaxes muscles and helps blood flow.

Magnet therapy offers an alternative approach for handling rheumatoid arthritis. Wearing bracelets, inserts, necklaces, or pads may improve the symptoms for some people.

Herbal treatments

Patients can also take natural supplements for pain relief. The most common herbs include thunder god vine, capsaicin, and turmeric.

  • Thunder god vine is a well-regarded herb in traditional Chinese medicine. In a large-scale study, the natural supplement outperformed a pharmaceutical drug when it came to alleviating inflammation and tender joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Capsaicin gives chili peppers their vaunted hotness. There are gels, patches, and topical creams that contain this compound. Using these products may help reduce pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Turmeric is a popular spice used in curries, but it has also served therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine. Tests showed that it stops proteins from triggering painful inflammation.

Physical activities

Physical activity is a vital part of good health and maintaining working fitness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It may take the form of conventional physical exercise, tai chi, or yoga.

Ask a physical therapist about exercises that will help manage the pain and swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Likely recommends include aerobics, strength training, range-of-motion exercises, and balance moves.

Each type of physical exercise improves an aspect affected. Strength training reinforces the muscles around joints, while balance moves help prevent falls and stumbles caused by rheumatoid arthritis attacks.

Tai chi is a “soft” type of martial arts. It calls for standing positions while going through slow movements that increase balance, flexibility, and strength.

The slow movements of tai chi will not put stress on the inflamed joints. Further, it is easy to switch once a joint begins getting sore.

Yoga is another low-impact form of physical activity. It focuses on breathing and meditation. Besides improving joint pain, flexibility, and stress levels, yoga also helps regulate chemicals that cause inflammation and stress.

Relaxation techniques

Try deep breathing. The ancient practice of breathing slowly from the belly can decrease stress that may otherwise lead to inflammation. It also keeps the brain from thinking about the pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

Meditation and visualization are mental exercises. To meditate, the practitioner focuses on breathing and keeping track of inhalations or exhalations. On the other hand, visualization involves closing the eyes, taking deep breaths, and visualizing a quiet and peaceful place.

In progressive muscle relaxation, a patient seeks to stiffen and relax muscles in various parts of the body. He starts with his facial muscles and works down his body before going back up again. The practitioner breathes in as he contracts a muscle and breathes out when he releases it.

Complementary therapies

Finally, there are complementary therapies — acupuncture, aromatherapy, and massage therapy — that may increase the effectiveness of other approaches.

  • Acupuncture is often prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine for rheumatoid arthritis. Set up a session with a certified practitioner who has previously treated arthritic patients.
  • Aromatherapy applies essential oils to the body via massage. They may help improve the mood of a patient suffering from arthritic joints.
  • Last but not least is massage therapy. Like acupuncture, it requires a massage therapist with experience in working with rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Try these various techniques and treatments for naturally supporting your body and relieving pain from rheumatoid arthritis, without the side effects of traditional treatments.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

Health is an important human value. Almost everyone, regardless of political affiliation, national origin, or religious association, values being healthy, free of disease and able to pursue their dreams and values. The preceding information discuses health in some capacity, either by alerting the public to poor health choices or suggesting better ways of living for optimum health. With health freedom in hand, which is a primary survival need of all living creatures, the individual can be liberated from fear of personal suffering. This leads to the capacity for holistic thinking, playfulness, and inspired living—activating our capacity to thrive.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
